mainframe modernization
Plano, United States – January 9, 2024
– Atos, a global leader in digital transformation, today
announces that it has been selected by global telecommunications
company, Lumen, to modernize its mainframe services in a multi-year
deal.
Atos will provide Lumen with a new mainframe
platform to support its most critical applications. Three data
centers operated by Lumen will be brought together into a single
Atos-operated US hub to provide best-in-class infrastructure.
The mainframe-as-a-service solution, offers
Lumen a ‘cloud-like’ mainframe scalability that provides everything
from computing power to service management and innovation.
Consumption-based charging allows Lumen to adjust the service as
its capacity needs change. Atos will also provide 24/7 hardware,
software and technical support alongside monitoring and
operations.
Lumen and Atos will migrate the mainframe
workloads into Atos’ Hub through carefully phased migration to
ensure service levels are maintained at all times.
Michael Grunberg, CEO North America,
Tech Foundations, Atos said “By transforming Lumen’s
mainframe, we will bring the company security, agility, and the
opportunity for innovation while supporting their business
transformation objectives. We look forward to deepening the
relationship and creating opportunities to extend our collaboration
in the future.”
Chad Naeger, Lumen CIO said
“Our mainframe is a central computing backbone and is pivotal
to our business operations. It demands the highest level of
stability and security to power our operations. We have entrusted
Atos to modernize our Mainframe environment, confident in their
expertise, experience, and ability to propel our
transformation goals.”
Atos has more than 45 years of experience in
mainframes and has been a Global IBM Platinum and Global Strategic
Business Partner for more than 20 years. Atos has been recognized
by Information Services Group (ISG) in July 2023 as a leader in
mainframes for the second year in a row.
Lumen has one of the largest, most deeply peered
networks in the world. From metro connectivity to long-haul data
transport to edge cloud, security, and managed service
capabilities, Lumen meets their customers’ needs today and as they
